Resident Evil
 

My favorite gaming series is Resident Evil, plus Tomb Raider. I remember being 14 playing Resident Evil Director's Cut and Playstation for the very first time and I have to say, for a guy who was into Genesis and SNES at the time, it was incredible that game and system. I was scared of the eerieness of the mansion for a long while, especially when I had a cruel unwelcoming surprise in a worst way with the Giant Spiders in the Guardhouse. Now I'm OK with the lastest few Capcom released (RE 4, 5), but I wish they had made Resident Evil more like their first few when it was scary, where I gave you that feeling like something was really there, rather than it being like a military type game. I'm not knocking Call of Duty, but Resident Evil isn't suppose to be like a war movie. As much as I love Resident Evil, I did have my mixed feelings with the Survivor and Outbreak spin off series of the Resident Evil Universe.

Yes! Resident Evil... the BEST Survivor Horror game series & Silent Hill... the Best Psychological Horror Game Series! I love them! :)

I'm a huge Resident Evil fan! Is anyone else excited for Mercenaries 3D and Revelations?

I'd be excited if 3D Mercenary, and Revelations were on a PS3 or Wii instead of a hand held. I perfer to play my games on my 42" HD TV plasma over a dinky little carry around toy.

I see nothing wrong with that, but then what would be the point of having portable gaming systems? To have games you'd rather see on the big screen. I'm sure Capcom can top that with their next RE game on the 360/PS3 if they make one. But these games look really impressive right now.

You mean a portable gaming device? The things that revolutionized gaming and make tons of bank for nintendo every year without fail?

Dinky little toy. Really now.

I really do not care about that. I'm saying I perfer to play my games on a big screen HDTV in 5.1 surround sound instead of carrying one of those hand-helds with me, where I tune out the world around me. Plus I think hand held games are for those who are sickly obsessed with games, like they have to have it where ever they go rather than being serious about the real world. I'm not knocking video games and computers, but you really don't have to carry those zombie-creating machines where ever you go.

Well it's only zombie creating if you let it be. I like to take hand helds on the go with me when I travel or just to chill in the house and enjoy the game at night in my bed. I also prefer playing games on a big screen but it doesn't hurt to have a good library of quality games on a portable for whatever the reason you use or have a portable for. I remember when I was young all I had was the Gameboy SP and DS while my brothers had everything else. Until I got my first console the DS just started fading away slowly.

As for Resident Evil, I'm really excited for Mercenaries 3D. Having Chris and Leon in one game just makes me happy. I've also heard that they might put older environments from early RE games into it. I'm hoping for Raccoon City with Nemesis as the boss. I'm also wondering how the character customization thing works. I'm also really excited about Revelations. I hope Chris is playable, and I love how they're going back into the roots of Resident Evil although personally I would love to see a co-op, survival horror, puzzle solving, back tracking, scary, action packed Resident Evil game with zombies. I was also a little disappointed to know that Resident Evil 5 got rid of the type writer. I seriously hope it's in Revelations.

Uh, you do realize that alot of people dont even take their handheld systems out on the go. I dont. I mainly have a DS for Pokemon and a few of other exclusive titles. The only time I take it on the ''go'' is when Im going on a trip somewhere. Dont knock something that has sold that many units worldwide. Makes you look a little bit ignorant calling it ''dinky''. Just sayin.

Also, considering the size of the XL...isn't really "dinky"...Obtrusive, maybe.

Get out, you and your stupid views on handhelds aren't welcome here.

I'm a huge R.E Fan since R.E 2 came out on playstation ,I finished R.E 2, 3, 4, 5. never beated the first, too ugly and oldy compare to the second.
now I miss Resident Evil 2 again and I wish I could play it theses days but the price's now crazy for a good condition one, Claire and Leon were just awesome in Raccon , game of the 90's for sure.

Same story, i grew up with this series since i was 15 when i got my PS1 for christmas with this game and fell in love with the series. I also love Resident Evils 4 and 5 for being awesome and refreshing. I became a fan.

No it's your nasty attitude on everything that's unwelcoming! So you get out you JERK!!! You're the one who is stupid! And I've read some of the crap you say on this site, and I will say YOU are the stupid person who is real piece of work. And you know what? I hope your crummy hand held games, your facebook, twitter, myspace, and your nasty pie hole mouth became the end of you, and some day you'll realize YOU are the one with stupid views on things!

You must be new around here. And to the internet, for that matter. :lol:

welcome to the video game section

Hahahaha, oh my. You're welcome, everyone.

wow did i stumble on a argument or what, any been a fan od RE since the the first game, the movies are ok but they really dont do the game justice.

Ok. What does this even mean? Is he gonna get cancer from his facebook account?

Resident Evil and Tomb Raider have actually aged pretty terribly, TR a lot more than RE but still do not replay them unless your nostalgia goggles are pretty big, and especially don't play them in a 42" plasma.

Anyways Resident Evil on a handheld has actually worked alright, not those Tiger RE games but RE Gaiden for the GBC was surprisingly good when it came out. It was a GBC exclusive and out near the end of the systems life not to mention a RE game on the GB so it did not sell well at all but I actually owned it and it did a pretty good job in making it scary, it wasn't even developed by capcom. The DS enhanced port of the first RE also felt scarier playing through it than actually playing it on the PS1. I don't know you kinda get into the game with portables, and portables are great don't diss them, I'll agree that the best handheld games are games designed to be played on a handheld and not just "lets make that console game portable".

I was a fan of RE, still am but not as much, Capcom has really done the franchise a disservice for a long time now, I even have problems with RE4, great action game but its not RE. But thats Capcom in a nutshell, they always make amazing franchises and beat them to the ground and keep beating on them without actually realizing.

And I know this is about the games but what the hey, I like the first RE movie, hated the second, liked the third, haven't seen the fourth.

And since you mention TR, the games were good for the time but aged terribly and quickly. The reboot was awesome, too bad they are rebooting it again which looks terrible and goes to show everything that is wrong with the VG industry today. ugh. They should look at Lara from the original games, a cel shaded Lara makes more sense than her new design.
